LinkedIn shows endorsements by tens of people at each of her jobs in the specific labels "Information Security", "Disaster Recovery", and "Business Continuity". By that basis, she is perfectly qualified to handle this breach

LinkedIn endorsements are as meaningful as Facebook likes.

Of course her LinkedIn profile does not correctly reflect her experience and qualifications.

Yet here we are, on Hacker News, with people calling her out for not having security experience based on her LinkedIn profile having an Art degree, rather than a Science degree.

I agree wholeheartedly with you that LinkedIn is as meaningful as Facebook. We absolutely should not be here evaluating her qualifications based on her LinkedIn profile. Any conclusions therein derived would be obviously wrong, by your own point.

Nobody is outright saying she doesn't have the experience. Clearly some employees at Equifax were ignoring security vulnerabilities. The first person you look at is the CSO.

The Linkedin doesn't paint the whole picture but it could indicate something and that what's being pointed out.

This isn't an attack on a single person it's an attempt to figure out how the biggest breach of user information in history went down.
